Account deletion within app - by May 31st 2024

[mvl22]

We soon need to implement account deletion within the app.

The e-mail we received 5/Apr/2023 says:

"To give users more control over their data, we're introducing a new account deletion requirement under our User Data policy. If your app allows users to create an account, then it must also allow users to request for their account to be deleted in the app and through a web resource."

API provisioning will be needed. I'll update this issue when that is in place.

I've filled in the data practices survey they require already.

We've been granted an extension until May 31st 2024.

I will let you know when the API provisioning is in place. We will need to prioritise this feature when that is so, otherwise updates will be blocked.

There is now an API call to enable account deletion to be done within the app directly.

See the webpage on the main website at: /api/v2/user.delete/

You need to be signed in to see this. Let me know by e-mail if you don't have access once signed in.

We need to implement this next, as otherwise any other updates to the app will be rejected, as of 31st May.
